Overview

What this migration involves

Regal.io organizes its data around Contacts, Contact Attributes, and a stream of Events (calls, SMS, custom behavioral events). HubSpot's CRM is built on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and a timeline of Engagements — a fundamentally different schema. FlitStack AI bridges this gap by importing Regal contacts as HubSpot Contacts with their custom attributes migrated as HubSpot custom properties, then logging call and SMS history as HubSpot engagement timeline entries. Event properties that have no HubSpot equivalent (call_queue, regal_journey_id, regal_campaign_id) are stored as HubSpot custom properties for reference and segmentation. We surface Regal's AI agent journeys and SMS templates as exportable documentation for your HubSpot admin to rebuild in HubSpot workflows. Migration runs via Regal's API (https://events.regalvoice.com/events) scoped to read-only access so your team keeps working in Regal throughout cutover, with a 24–48h delta window capturing any in-flight records before the switch. During the import, FlitStack applies field-level validation to ensure required HubSpot properties such as email and phone are present for each contact, and any missing data is flagged for remediation before final sync.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Regal.io

What's pushing teams away

  • Pricing opacity frustrates teams during renewal negotiations — Regal does not publish public pricing tiers, and quotes vary significantly based on call volume commitments.
  • Teams requiring deep telephony analytics report that Regal's reporting dashboard lacks the drill-down granularity needed for per-agent or per-campaign revenue attribution.
  • Scaling to multi-region inbound operations exposes limitations in Regal's agent desktop compared to full CCaaS platforms that offer broader workforce management features.

Choosing

HubSpot

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry of any major CRM — the free tier with unlimited contacts lets teams validate fit before committing to a paid plan, according to G2 and Capterra reviewers.
  • Native integration between the CRM and sales engagement tools (sequences, email tracking, dialer) means no separate sync configuration, a theme across G2 Sales Hub reviews.
  • Pipeline visualization, deal tracking, and automated workflows are consistently praised as intuitive and easy to set up without developer involvement.
  • Strong onboarding for new team members — reviewers on Capterra and G2 highlight how quickly new reps become productive without formal training.
  • The HubSpot platform ecosystem (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS hubs) allows growing companies to consolidate tools without building new integrations.

Object mapping

How Regal.io objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a Regal.io object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Regal.io

Contact

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Regal contacts map directly to HubSpot contacts. The primary company_name attribute is resolved against HubSpot company records by domain match or manual mapping, then linked via the Contact's Associated Company field. Any missing company associations are logged for manual review before the final import to avoid orphaned contacts.

Regal.io

Contact Attribute (standard)

maps to

HubSpot

Contact Property

1:1
Fully supported

Regal standard attributes like first_name, last_name, email, phone, and job_title map to HubSpot's native Contact Properties with the same names. These require no transformation. FlitStack validates each value against HubSpot's property type constraints, ensuring that phone numbers are formatted correctly and email addresses meet RFC standards before import.

Regal.io

Contact Attribute (custom)

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Contact Property

1:1
Fully supported

Regal custom Contact Attributes (defined per workspace) are created as HubSpot custom properties on the Contact object before import. Data type matching (text, number, date, picklist) is done per attribute during the mapping phase. For picklist attributes, FlitStack maps each Regal value to the corresponding HubSpot picklist option, creating new options if they do not already exist in HubSpot's property definition.

Regal.io

Event (call)

maps to

HubSpot

Engagement (call logged on Contact timeline)

1:1
Fully supported

Regal call events become HubSpot engagement log entries of type 'Call' on the Contact timeline. Properties like call_duration, outcome, and recording_url map to custom properties on the engagement record. FlitStack also records the original call start time as a custom datetime property, preserving the exact timestamp for reporting and historical analysis.

Regal.io

Event (sms)

maps to

HubSpot

Engagement (logged on Contact timeline)

1:1
Fully supported

Regal SMS events are logged as HubSpot engagement entries on the Contact timeline. The SMS body text is preserved in a custom property, with direction (inbound/outbound) mapped from Regal's sms_direction field. If the SMS direction is not recognized, FlitStack flags the record for review and defaults to 'outbound' to maintain data consistency.

Regal.io

Event (custom event type)

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Behavioral Event

1:1
Fully supported

Regal custom Event Types (behavioral events beyond call and SMS) map to HubSpot Custom Behavioral Events. Event Properties are stored as custom event properties in HubSpot's event schema. FlitStack creates a custom event definition in HubSpot for each unique Regal event type, mapping all associated event properties to the corresponding custom fields within the event schema.

Regal.io

Company data in Regal (company_name attribute)

maps to

HubSpot

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Regal stores company as a text attribute on Contact. Unique company_name values are extracted, deduplicated, and imported as HubSpot Company records. Domain and industry are mapped from Regal company attributes where present. If multiple contacts share the same company name but lack a domain, FlitStack generates a list of potential duplicates for your team to merge manually before final import.

Regal.io

Regal call recording URL

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot File attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Regal stores call recordings as hosted URLs in the recording_url event property. FlitStack fetches each recording and re-uploads it as a HubSpot File attached to the relevant Contact record's timeline. During this step, FlitStack verifies the file size and format, converting any non‑standard audio codecs to MP3 to ensure compatibility with HubSpot's file viewer.

Regal.io

Owner / Agent data

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot User

1:1
Fully supported

Regal agent IDs and owner assignments are resolved by email match against HubSpot Users. Unmatched agents are flagged for team assignment before the migration runs so no contact lands without a HubSpot owner. If a HubSpot User does not exist for a matched email, FlitStack creates a placeholder user and assigns those contacts temporarily, allowing your admin to reassign ownership post‑migration.

Regal.io

AI agent journey configuration

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot workflow (to be rebuilt)

1:1
Fully supported

Regal's Journey Builder configurations (triggers, branching logic, outbound sequences) are not data — they are platform configuration with no HubSpot equivalent. FlitStack exports journey definitions as documentation for the HubSpot admin to rebuild in HubSpot workflows. The exported documentation includes each trigger condition, decision branches, and action steps, providing a clear blueprint for recreating the logic in HubSpot's workflow editor.

Regal.io

SMS template configuration

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot sequence / workflow (to be rebuilt)

1:1
Fully supported

Regal SMS templates and branded caller configurations are platform-specific settings that do not export as data. These are surfaced in the migration documentation as items requiring manual rebuild in HubSpot's tools. The documentation lists each template's variables, conditional logic, and fallback routes, enabling your team to replicate the same communication flows using HubSpot's sequence and workflow features.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Event-driven data requires a different mapping model than HubSpot's object-relational schema

    Regal organizes interaction data as a stream of timestamped Events (call, SMS, custom events) with Event Properties attached per record. HubSpot tracks Engagements on a Contact's timeline but has no native equivalent for custom Event Properties like queue_name, call_recording_url, or regal_journey_id. FlitStack creates HubSpot custom properties for each Event Property that lacks a native field, logs the engagement on the Contact timeline, and stores the original Regal event ID for reconciliation. Without this step, event-level metadata becomes orphaned or lost.

  • Company data is flattened in Regal and requires denormalization in HubSpot

    Regal stores company information as a plain text attribute (company_name) on each Contact record. HubSpot enforces a separate Company object with a proper domain-based deduplication model. If multiple Regal contacts share the same company name with different spelling or missing domain data, HubSpot may create duplicate Company records. FlitStack resolves this by extracting unique company_name values, performing domain-based matching where domain is present, and flagging ambiguous company records for manual review before the full import runs.

  • Call recordings require re-upload as HubSpot Files — original Regal URLs are not accessible post-migration

    Regal stores call recordings at URLs returned in the recording_url event property. These URLs are valid within Regal's infrastructure and are not portable. After the migration, Regal access may be revoked or the URLs may expire. FlitStack fetches each recording during the migration window and re-uploads it as a HubSpot File attached to the relevant Contact's timeline. This step adds processing time proportional to total recording volume and is a separate scope item for very large call histories.

  • AI agent journey configurations and SMS templates have no exportable data format

    Regal's Journey Builder defines outbound sequences, trigger conditions, and branching logic — this is application configuration, not contact or event data. HubSpot has no equivalent construct that can be populated with exported journey definitions. FlitStack exports the journey configurations as a structured reference document listing each journey's trigger events, conditions, and action sequence so your HubSpot admin can rebuild them in HubSpot workflows and sequences. The rebuild is a manual, billable services engagement separate from the data migration.

  • Regal's per-agent licensing model does not translate to HubSpot seat counts

    Regal bills per agent seat for AI agent usage and per-call volume. HubSpot's CRM licensing is per-user with tiers (Starter, Professional, Enterprise) that include different feature sets. Teams migrating from Regal to HubSpot often discover that their HubSpot seat count and CRM tier must be sized independently from their prior Regal agent count. This is a billing decision your team makes with HubSpot sales — FlitStack focuses on the data migration scope and flags the licensing delta as a planning item.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Regal.io to HubSpot data migration

  1. Audit Regal's data model via API and export all contact, attribute, and event records

    FlitStack connects to Regal's API (https://events.regalvoice.com/events) using scoped read credentials. We export all Contacts, their Contact Attributes (standard and custom), and all Events by type (call, sms, and custom event types). The export is validated for record counts, attribute completeness, and event property schema consistency. We flag any contacts with missing email addresses (required for HubSpot Contact import) and any event records with malformed timestamps for data quality remediation before the mapping phase begins.

  2. Define HubSpot custom properties and Company deduplication rules

    Before any data is imported into HubSpot, FlitStack creates the custom properties required for Regal's custom Contact Attributes and Event Properties that have no native HubSpot field. We also configure the Company deduplication logic — domain-based matching where domain is available, company_name string matching as a fallback — and deliver a Company deduplication plan for your HubSpot admin to approve. This step ensures the HubSpot schema is ready before any Contact records land.

  3. Import Companies first, then Contacts, then log engagement history on the Contact timeline

    HubSpot requires Company records to exist before Contacts can associate to them via Associated Company. FlitStack sequences the migration: (1) unique company_name values are extracted, deduplicated, and imported as HubSpot Company records, (2) Contacts are imported with their primary company association resolved via domain match or your specified rule, (3) all call, SMS, and custom event history is logged as HubSpot engagement records on each Contact's timeline with Event Properties mapped to custom properties. Owner resolution happens at this step — Regal agent IDs are matched by email to HubSpot Users and unassigned records are flagged.

  4. Run a sample migration of 100–500 contacts with field-level diff and event reconciliation

    A representative slice of Regal contacts — spanning different attribute sets, event volumes, and company associations — migrates into HubSpot under a test run. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values for every mapped property and event engagement. You verify that custom Contact Attributes landed in the correct HubSpot custom properties, call outcomes mapped to the right pick-list values, and call recordings attached correctly. The diff report is shared before the full migration is scheduled.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log

    The full Regal dataset migrates into HubSpot with FlitStack's scoped read access — your team continues working in Regal throughout the cutover. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any Regal contacts created or modified during the migration run. FlitStack generates an audit log of every record imported, every property mapped, and every engagement logged. One-click rollback reverts all imported records if post-migration reconciliation reveals a mapping error. Call recordings are uploaded in parallel to minimize total cutover time.

Strengths

  • Event-based contact model with 300 req/sec API throughput for real-time, high-volume data streaming.
  • Native AI Agent runtime with smooth handoff to human agents, eliminating power-dialer spam issues.
  • CDP-native integrations with Segment, HubSpot, Salesforce, Braze, and Iterable for same-day onboarding.
  • Journey builder with no-code AI tools for marketers to design event-triggered voice, SMS, and email workflows.
  • 97% containment rate and 80% cost-to-serve reduction cited in enterprise case studies.

Weaknesses

  • No public pricing tiers — requires sales consultation and volume commitments for quotes.
  • AI Agent configurations and scripts are not exportable, requiring full rebuild at destination.
  • Full CCaaS feature set (WFM, multi-region inbound queuing) is narrower than platforms like RingCentral.
  • Call recording and transcript retention is governed by Regal's internal policy, not customer-configurable.
  • Rate limits are generous but undocumented for burst scenarios beyond 300 req/sec.

Strengths

  • Genuinely useful free CRM tier with no seat limit on contact records.
  • All-in-one sales engagement layer (sequences, email tracking, calling, dialer) embedded natively in the CRM, eliminating a separate integration.
  • Intuitive interface and fast onboarding for individual reps, per G2 and Capterra reviews.
  • Workflow automation triggers across contacts, deals, and tickets with a visual builder.
  • API coverage for all standard objects including custom objects at Enterprise tier.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is contact-based at the marketing layer — importing all records as marketing contacts can multiply the monthly bill by 4×.
  • Feature tier cliffs are frequent surprises: sequences, calling, advanced reporting, and quoting are all gated, often requiring plan upgrades mid-implementation.
  • Mandatory onboarding fees at Professional ($1,500) and Enterprise ($3,500) are not prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
  • API rate limits are restrictive for bulk migration — burst limits of 100-200 req/10sec and search endpoint limits of 4 req/sec require careful job queuing.
  • Custom objects, additional pipelines, and advanced forecasting are Enterprise-only, making cost projections difficult for growing teams.
